The absence of an API system forced service providers and integrators in the state to collaborate independently, leading to the formation of the Washington Cannabis Integrators Alliance (WCIA). This alliance aimed to facilitate the testing, transfer, and sale of products by building a system on top of CCRS. Despite these efforts, not all companies have participated in the program, and even those that have may not adhere strictly to the agreed-upon Washington state schema, creating compliance issues.
Furthermore, the lack of an API and the reliance on WSLCB’s own servers have led to performance issues, with CCRS often experiencing slowdowns during peak hours. This has resulted in the frequent use of Contingency Manifests (CMs) as a workaround for the system’s inability to handle the volume of CSV files required for reporting.
At Bamboo, we recognize the challenges faced by Washington’s cannabis businesses and have dedicated our efforts to ensuring full compliance and user satisfaction. Our developers work tirelessly to report every necessary file to CCRS every 15 minutes, surpassing the industry standard of daily or weekly reporting. By taking on the complexities of CCRS, Bamboo allows its users to focus on their core business operations while maintaining compliance with state regulations.
